Miracles


                  This is the amazing man I was talking about in "My journey with MALS pt.2"!

  So, a few days after my surgery, I had an allergic reaction to the epidural they gave me to manage my pain.I was so nervous to get it but it wasn't bad at all! I got hives and red places all over my body and I was itching like crazy. They gave me Benadryl which just made me more sleepy than anything. We got it under control a day later but it was a very uncomfortable experience. I ate a few things here and there like grilled chicken, green beans, cookies, and some jolly ranchers but the chicken got stuck in my feeding tube so the nurse had to flush it. That was the last time I ate their chicken haha! 
  
  I was supposed to go home yesterday (21st of October), but I haven't been tolerating my tube feedings very well. It's all new to me but as far as I know, my goal is to intake 60 ML an hour, We started off with 10 and it made me super nauseous so I've been living off of Zofran and Benadryl. I finally made it to 60 and I should be discharged some time today. Since it's a long way back home, my family and I have decided that we're going to stay in the area until our follow-up appointment with Dr.Petty. 

If you have any questions about my health, my doctor, or anything about MALS, don't be afraid to ask!
